Meet Marcus Shaw

[p]In today's episode, we meet the Colonel. [/p][p]Born under the equatorial skies of Kenya, Marcus Shaw cut his teeth in the Air and Space Forces. A prodigious pilot with nerves of steel and an insatiable ambition, he rocketed to the rank of Colonel in the Kenyan military until his reputation reached the ears and interest of Gene Orson. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Orson’s proposition to the Colonel was irresistible: join the Orson Corporation as its premier test pilot and spearhead humanity’s first mission to Mars. Marcus’ eyes had always been fixed on the heavens; now he stood on the brink of rewriting history as a pioneer of space exploration.  [/p][p]But life had other plans. The Mars mission plunged the Colonel into the heart of an interplanetary crisis, and with Gene Orson’s support he emerged from the ashes of that ill-fated voyage with a new calling — to lead Earth’s defense against the Martian invasion.  [/p][p]Sharp-minded and self-assured — some might even say cocky — Colonel Marcus Shaw commands the Global Military Alliance on the front lines with tactical brilliance and ruthless resolve. He’ll deploy cutting-edge, untested weapons if it means tipping the scales in humanity’s favor. [/p]
